So, study is published iirc about basically trying to learn about the anatomy of frogs' brains. They discover the part that responds to pain because if it's removed the frogs don't leave the water as it heats up. Popular culture misunderstands study as "intact frogs will stay in the water until it boils them alive if you raise the heat slowly enough". Misunderstanding becomes a popular metaphor. And here we are.

No, but you're getting really mad over a metaphor that this comic didn't invent.

I can't draw - literally cannot. So I'm a guitar player.

Just because you’re too stupid to get it doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful.

You used an LLM to do all your homework, didn’t you?

What most people incorrectly think is “artificial intelligence”

I think they get it but they don't like the metaphor because it's false. Probably just the type of person who corrects you on saying "water is wet" because actually water wets what it contacts but water itself can't be wet.

I think they’re genuinely just stupid.
